MEMORANDUM FOR #### TCS/CC

FROM:  ### TCS/OS

SUBJECT: Letter of Appreciation

1. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the outstanding manner
which throe of your aircrews conducted themselves during the TAC E mission of 4 May 1967.
As mission commander of six C-7A aircraft from Vung Tau, RVN, I was given the assignment
to transport a battalion of troops through marginal weather to a forward operating strip.
Darkness plus the low clouds and the unfamiliar flare lighted strip made this anything but a
routine mission. Capt Last of your squadron led the stream of aircraft. The entire mission went
smoothly and efficiently, thanks to the efforts of the crews of both squadrons.

2. It was certainly a pleasure to command a group of pilots who were eager to do a job and
who readily adapted to a difficult mission. As you will know, we do little night flying in the C- 7A
and the fact that these people went into a totally unfamiliar strip, at night and in weather, some 
five times apiece without an incident is indicative of their abilities certainly. Please extend them
my thanks and inform them it was my pleasure.

                                                                                                  FIRST M. LAST, Lt. Colonel, USAF
                                                                                                  Mission Commander
